Manual transmissions are really not difficult to learn and drive. Do you have some physical handicap that prevents you from using your left foot?
It took me 20 minutes of practice with a bad instructor to get the basics down enough for me to drive one without stalling or looking dumb. I taught another guy who had "tried and failed", and 5 minutes later, he was driving the vehicle around with no problems. He didn't even stall it.
The trick is, rev the engine slightly (like 2k rpm at first), and slowly release the clutch until you find the friction point where the car begins to move. Hold the clutch at that point until you are moving, then release it. To shift, just press the clutch pedal, change gear, and release... simple. Make sure you never stop without pressing the clutch pedal or shifting into neutral, or you'll stall the engine. That's pretty much all you need to know to get basic proficiency.
